|
Refresh
|
Click
to display a submenu with four
Refresh options. These options allow you to refresh all or part of an application. As long as you have not saved your changes, refreshing an application returns it to the state it was in when you opened it.
- Clear All - Use this option to do the following:
- Cancel all edits you made since opening the application
- Restart the application
Changes made to your queried data since opening the application are deleted, and your session restarted.
- Refresh All: Use this option to do the following:
- Cancel all edits made in the current application
- Re-execute all current queries for all currently opened screens within the application. Only previously executed queries from the current session restart.
- Refresh Subtask: Use this option to refresh the current subtask. This deletes all edits for a single document that you have made both under that subtask and its subordinate subtasks. Data on the header record and on other subtasks do not refresh. This option is available only within a subtask.
- Refresh Document: Use this option to refresh the currently selected document. Costpoint refreshes the data on the current header row and all its supporting details. Costpoint removes all previous edits. This option applies to documents (header records) only. You cannot refresh a new row since it does not yet exist in the database.
This option enables only for the top level, at the root of the document. This option is disabled for subtasks.
